Momma’s got a bottle, Momma's got a gun
We won’t be gettin’ much homework done tonight
There ain’t no place like home
Bobbie’s parents read the bible every day
And they've locked him in a closet to keep the devil away
All the while they say

(chorus)
Honor your father and mother
It’s one of the golden rules they say
Honor your father and honor your mother
Sounds crazy but its true

Julie needs a place to stay tonight
Cause her daddy's got some plans for her that don't seem right
There ain't no place like home
And Tim’s folks got a tight schedule but that's okay
They've found a first class, year around boarding school and today
They'll drop him off and say

(chorus)

Honor your father and mother
It’s one of the golden rules they say
Honor your father and honor your mother
Sounds crazy but its true

(bridge)
They abuse they negate they neglect humiliate
And still demand full respect from you
So you’re left with a choice to betray yourself or disobey
Either way you lose

(chorus)

Honor your father and mother
It’s one of the golden rules they say
Honor your father and honor your mother
Sounds crazy but its true
